Before you pack
3 points
- Pre-book Large Sporting Equipment online rather than at the airport to avoid the higher walk-up fee
- Keep the packed bag at or under 20kg - overage is charged per kg per flight and adds up fast
- No published cabin option exists for boards/kites - a kite/board bag must always go in the hold
